Benefits of LED vs. Fluorescent Lighting
Energy saving
| Watts of electricity used (equivalent to 60 watt bulb) |
9 watts Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) |
60 watts Incandescent |
23 watts Compact Fluorescents (CFLs) |
| Life Span |
50,000 hours |
1,200 hours |
8,000 hours |
Energy sustainability begins with conservation and energy savings from LED lighting. This will reduce waste of energy by 50-90% compared to conventional lighting.
LED’s are different to standard lighting: They don’t really burn out and stop working like a standard light, moreover the lighting diodes emit lower output levels over a very long period of time and become less bright.
Because the long life span of LED lights, also the maintenance work – think of all the work and energy it takes to purchase, stock and change the conventional lighting & ballasts. That in itself is a significant savings.
Ecologically Friendly
LED lights do not contain Mercury, a potentially hazardous substance.
LED lights also consume a fraction of the energy consumed by traditional lighting.
LED illumination produces little infrared light and close to no UV emissions.
LED lighting is highly suitable not only for goods, materials and sensitive objects or materials such as in museums, art galleries, archeological sites, or historic areas.
Other, not so obvious, benefits
Increased sales as a result of the way LED projects light.
Your customers are glad you are doing what you can to lower your carbon footprint.
Potential of reducing theft inside and / or outside.
People feel safer in areas that well lit.
